It's every shopper's dream to roll into a store, stroll over to a salesperson and announce "Give me the works, and price is no object." While that dream may come true for very few of us, it's still nice to gaze wistfully into the distance and imagine what our living room would be like if it were filled with the best that money can buy.

Blu-ray Player:Samsung BD-UP5000
If you're the sort who goes all-out on your electronics, you probably aren't the sort who chose to wait out the format wars, and now you've got a mixed bag of discs to deal with. This multi-format player from Samsung allows you to watch any format you choose from your collection (including the now defunct HD DVD).

Set-Top Box:TiVo Series 3
If our only criteria for the out-and-out luxury living room were price, then the older TiVo Series 3 HD would surely fit the bill: with a $600 price tag it's far and away more expensive than the TiVo HD (aka "Series 3 light"). The Series 3 is the world's only THX-certified DVR, and it sports a front-panel display that shows you what the TiVo is recording. It also comes with dual CableCARD readers and the simple-to-use TiVo interface you know and love.

Speakers and Receiver:Marantz SR5002 Receiver and Paradigm Cinema 110 CT Speaker System
When we asked lead audio analyst Tim Gideon about his favorite home theater speakers, we quickly realized how easily you could break the bank on a 25-grand sound system. To keep our heads screwed on straight, though, we tried to be at least a tad reasonable, opting for a Marantz receiver paired with 5.1 surround sound speakers by Paradigm.
Price: receiver, $750 (list); speakers, $800 (list)

Media Extender:Apple TV
Admit it, half of the appeal of going all-out on a digital entertainment system is having your friends "ooh" and "ahh" at your shiny new toys. And a gizmo or two from Apple never hurts the drool appeal. The newly revamped Apple TV, for example, allows you to morph your widescreen HDTV into a giant video iPod with iTunes video rentals, streaming music and video from your PC, and more.
